It’s a Wednesday evening in February, and time for the weekly meeting of Pleasure@MIT, an acronym for “peers leading education about sexuality and speaking up for relationship empowerment.” The Pleducators are a wonderful group of people committed to changing the culture at MIT to reduce sexual misconduct by encouraging healthy communication and relationships.
Serving as a Pleducator and being part of the VagMo cast have made me believe that change is possible, and that I can be a part of it. And I know now that I can always go back to the learning zone. After all, if I could join two completely unexpected and totally awkward groups, what can’t I do?

I went to MIT many years ago. It was hard. I survived, many didn't. As a perk to alumni I get a free subscription to Technology Review, MIT's monthly magazine of science and engineering. Over the last decade the content has gotten more and more leftist/feminist. Reading it today one could be convinced 80% of all science and engineering advances are done by women. I guess things are different now than in my day. All content is totally politicalized. No amount of praise for Obama or global warming theories is ever enough. This month I'm greeted by the linked article. The author writes she works in admissions. The thought of the likes of her having anything to do with deciding who is admitted pretty much says it all. I guess even a once great institution is not immune, but they'll have to get by without me.
I should have listened. Why on why didn’t I listen.
That thing isn’t overcompensating TOO much, is she?
Please pass the mace.....I want to spray it in my eyes.
Massachusetts will ruin MIT.
After all, they’ve given us the Kennedy collection of mentally challenged idiots, Kerry, Fauxahauntis, etc.
Liberals ruin anything and everything they touch.
Science is hard to ruin, but libs already have taken a bodacious Dorkbama on climate research.
Worse coming.
Eye bleach? Nah. She's got powerful sexmachine thighs.
And a borderline-cute face.
It’s sad to hear about such a decline at MIT. It has produced many amazing scientists and engineers. I’d guess that things are even worse at CalTech.
We are in a very bad place with regard to education, critical thinking, and STEM graduates. China has its share of problems, but PC culture and the leftist “emotions are more important than facts” approach are not among them. I understand that China is making rapid gains in producing high quality STEM graduates. America can’t afford complacency and/or stupidity.
I can only hope that the MAGA movement will eventually move the pendulum back to sanity, objectivity, and logic being the dominant approaches to thought.
Lori Petty played Tank Girl in the movie... who knew that the drawings looked like Alfred E Newmann?
Come on! You know it’s racist to make Serena Williams cartoons!
I’m a grad as well. Course 5. 1978.
Embarrassing. Thank goodness some good work is still done there.
by exposing as much leg as physically possible?
but then she is part of sex positivity week complete with talking vaginas.
You’re a sick puppy, Laz. :-)
Agreed.....but knowing how annoying her friends would be and that one would have to spend time with them during the pursuit really lowers the attraction factor.
Asked and answered.
Laz....have you noticed that the real tramps are the ones with visible tattoos, not the ones with “tramp stamps?”
And I use the descriptor in the traditional, “she will go there” sense of the word.
BS/MSEE 75
I remember part of the admissions process was an interview with a local alumni. It was 1971 and the word went out to the interviewers that the Institute didn’t want a class full of Berkeley style maggot infested hippie types. Clearly no such filter exists today.
